I'm sure, John, that you will do your customary extraordinary job with the arrangements.

I just booked my flight. I figure that airfares are not probably heading down in the next few months, perhaps longer. Flying into IAD, let me know when the hotel is selected.

My goal this year is to arrive in the Musketeer! The scheduled events are looking good there JP!

 

[jhbecker]

Great itinerary JP !! We'll be there.

I urge everyone to arrange their schedule to visit the Flying Circus on Sunday. I went to the Flying Circus with John and the BAC years ago. It was arranged perfectly, and I would not hesitate for a minute to go again.

For those who are unfamiliar, the show is a barnstormer's act. There is a show associated with it, and it's entertaining for non-pilots as well.

I can be there Friday through Sunday.

Margie and I will probably do an extended road trip from Boston.
I can see the same cast of characters lining up already. I certainly can't leave them alone at BACFest26 unsupervised. It's those people from west of the Mississippi that are to be watched carefully.

BACFest is the best deal in aviation and everyone should try to attend.

 

[jhbecker]

It wouldn't be a BACFest if someone wasn't there to drop all the Rs. But then again, Robin has been working on me to stop adding an R to Washington for 48 years.

Some people can get silly when they get down low east of the Mississippi and there's all that oxygen. They are blessed to have Margie and Tom watching out for them. Semi-quoting TC you will have a great time at BAC Fest.
